Forensic Watermarking Solutions Represented at IBC2019

With the era of hard DRM over, forensic watermarking is seen as the new go-to for protecting content. Whether you are looking for a watermarking provider, or want to see what new technologies are available (See our white paper on Why Watermarking is not Enough), IBC2019 is the place to be.

Here’s a snapshot of some of the companies at IBC specializing in forensic watermarking:

NAGRA is the digital TV division of the Kudelski Group. Their forensic watermarking solution, NexGuard, can be applied to protection of pre-release content, pay-TV operators and direct-to-consumer services, as well as digital cinema.

“NexGuard Forensic Watermarking solutions can be used to deter and combat piracy during content production, post-production, distribution/contribution, including for direct-to-consumer services.”

Friend MTS’ content and revenue protection services is designed for premium sports and entertainment (for live and on-demand content). Their portfolio includes Piracy-iQ, a ground-breaking service for measuring streaming piracy consumption over ISP networks. Other key services include global monitoring using fingerprint-based content recognition, and the most widely deployed subscriber watermarking in the world.

To date, Custos’ plug-and-play distribution solutions have protected over 500 000 films, e-books, and confidential documents from copyright infringement, using cryptocurrency ─ reducing piracy by 99.97% in markets across four continents.

Content owners trust Custos to keep sensitive media safe, and to detect leaks when and where they happen.
